Stephen Miller and Donald Trump are illegally using ICE as their own personal military force. ICE is killing people on our streets. Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov is right: we need aggressive INVESTIGATIONS and justice for families terrorized by this administration.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I keep on saying that the primary use case for AI is as a liability shield. As long as they can maintain the fiction that the AI is an independent agent, they can argue that they aren't responsible for its actions. This seems like a place where some very simple laws could fix the problem.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
